Analysis of Genetic Algorithm for Rule-Set Production (GARP) Modeling Approach for Predicting Distributions of Fleas Implicated as Vectors of Plague,Yersinia pestis, in California

Abstract excerpt

More than 20 species of fleas in California are implicated as potential vectors of Yersinia pestis. Extremely limited spatial data exist for plague vectors-a key component to understanding where the greatest risks for human, domestic animal, and wildlife health exist. This study increases the spatial data available for 13 potential plague vectors by using the ecological niche modeling system Genetic Algorithm for...
